Cons

RUN AROUND ON SETTING UP ACCOUNT TOTAL HEADACHE AND TIME WASTED TRYING NEW SECURITY QUESTIONS FOR SAME RESULT.

Summary

I just want to scan my documents and have them organized like they say it will do when I purchased. Tried registering my new product with my product key and it will not allow me. Contacted NEAT and got run around. It is nothing more than a basic scanner with hopped up software that does not allow you to do what they state in the infomercials. I do not want to be signed up to a service and have my documents available for others. I want to scan and organize and save to my files thats all. NO CLOUD!!!!

Scans are all grainy.
Scans only work some of the time.
Locks, and hangs based on NDSK3 Error.
Advertised as Mac compliant, but is not 100% working.
No updates reported for Mac, and Neat is focusing purely on Windows at this point.

Summary

Not compatible with a Mac on Yosemite ( which we are all running by now ). Works only some of the time. Neats NDSK3 Scanning Errors listed all over the web. This is a pure Mac problem. Does not exist on Windows. No updates planned. Better to go with the Fujitsu ScanSnap which is highly compliant with better support. For $400, you should expect your device to be 100% working. For Mac, the Neat scanner is just an experiment, or formerly supported anyway. The ScanSnap seems to have no issues at all either for Mac or Windows. The choice is easy.

i don't want a membership or a cloud upload. I just want to scan my stuff. I don't want to have to login every time i need something. i don't want to store anything with you. i don't want to have to deal with your website when all I want is to file my documents on my computer and store them how I want them.

Summary

i'm certain there are other scanners that would make this easier. but now i've spent $400 on a tool i'm stuck with. too bad the company doesn't get that i only want the product not a relationship with them.
